ShareFest

What is ShareFest?

ShareFest is a yearly celebration of serving in our community. The ShareFest work force is comprised of a network of people from churches in Antioch, Lake Villa, and Lindenhurst. We work together to serve our community, motivated by the love of Jesus Christ. ShareFest began in 2004 with the belief that churches can do more together than any one church can do alone.

ShareFest Opening Celebration October 3 – 7:30am All ShareFest Volunteers will gather at Crossview Church in Antioch for a great time of worship and encouragement at the beginning of our workday. Project supplies and additional information will be distributed to each team. Coffee and a light breakfast will be available for volunteers.
